A revised .?nid careful estimate of

almost an entire block of the whole

1 losses at about $225,0110. with about
$1S0,000 insurance. As near as can
be estimated the losses are ns follows.
Gibbes Machinery company, with
branches in Charleston, Wilmington.
Spnrtanburg ami Augusta, is Cue
heaviest loser, the estimate on their
loss being about $125,000 with about
$$0,000 insurance. The Southern States
Supply Co., loss about $50,000, with
about $53.000 insurance: II. G. Werts

said to have been badly damaged.
The telephone and telegraph com
panv also sustained some loss, the
wires having been burnt out in this
section by the fire. Other minor losses
such as tenant houses, were sustain
ed but it is thought that $250.000 is
an outside estimate of the loss from
the fire. The fire was gotten com
pletely under control this afternoon

ed this morning.

A Thirty-Five Cent Christmas.
We beard a man tell the following
story and it is worth repetition.
"I was on my way to business on
tho twenty-fourth of December and
was figuring out that this was not to
bo the best Christmas I had even
spent. Certain things had gone wrong
and I was quite a hit disturbed.
"I was suddenly .accosted by an ill
clad individual who asked mo for a
dime with which to buy a loaf of
bread. I looked at the fellow and
sized him up as a man that was real
ly hungry.
' Would you like a good breakfast?
I ventured.
" I sure would." he replied, and I
led him to a nearby restaurant. Giv
ing the cashier thirty-five cents for
the niati's meal 1 sat down to watch
him oat.
"Well?boys?that was one of the
best thirty five cents I ever spent.
For real enjoyment, watching that fel
low eat, had few equals?-and the
fellow himself?say, tho pleasure he
had?made me happy for a week. I
remembered him all day Christmas,
lust to think that a man could need
food so badly and that thirty-five cents
could do so much good. Try it some
day yourself and you will make two
people smile all over."?Exchange.
